Phallogocentrism--
the operative principle of culture that is male-dominated.
As explained by Stevens and Stewart in CLCR:
- Just as the phallus is implicity--and sometimes explicitly--assumed
to be the only significant sexual organ, the masculine is accepted as the
central point of reference, the only source of validity and authority.
Women are defined only in terms of their relation to men, only in terms
of what they lack. (90)
